the city of New York, recently decided to
send back to Ireland sixteen families, IN
all nearly one hundred persons, sent to That
port by the agents of the British govern
ment. The ground for this action appears

Cleveland, as Commander-in-Chie of the
Army of the United States, has resolved
to return to the States of the South all the
flags captured from their respective troops
engaged in the late wal between the
States, taken on the field of battle by the
Federal troops. This resolve is largely
due to the in~strumentality of Adjutant

man, who wishes to withdraw from public
gaze all the mementoes of internecine
strife and all the reminders of sectional
rivalry to the death.

A dispatch from Wheeling, West Vir-
ginia, says the almost continuous heavy
storms Of the past ten days have done a
very large amount of damage throughout
the State and contiguous territory. In
Ohio railroad travel has been greatly in
terrupted, bridges washed away, live stock
drowned, crops ruined and a great amount
of valuable timber carried off. No through
trains have run on the Ohio river road
south of Wheeling since Monday, and last
Friday night three or four passenger trains
were blocked at Sisterville. At New
Martinsville, last Friday, the Methodist
church was destroyed by lightning. So

1t is expected that Mr.. Carlisle will
visit Washington this week. A conference
will follow, it is believed, between the
President, MI. Carlisle and Mr.. Fairchild,
touching not alone the ACCESSIBILITY of call
ing an extra session of Congress, but the
form of the tariff bill to be presented to
the next House. It was Mr.. Brecken-
ridge, of Arkansas, who first suggested
that the way out of the difficulty was to
practically settle the question before Con-
gress meets. This, he thinks, can be done
by preparing a tariff bill by and with
the advice of the President and the secre-
foru If The treasury. thus giving the pres
tipe of the Administration endorsement.
